Application vfiled December This invention relates to devices for clean-.ing windows, Woodworkand the like andl has for one of its chie'objec'tsthe provision o e combined squeegee, reservoir and moistener. Anotherimportant object of the invention is the provision of an article .ofthis nature A that is leek proof.

` .A further object ofthe invention is the provisionof en article ofthis nature .that is etiicient, inexpensive und yet substantial inconstruction. I

Other objects and novel `tentures of construction will become moreapparent as the specication proceeds. I i5 `Rei'errinlgfto the ldrawingsforming e partv of this specification:

Figure 1 isa pc'rspectivevicw of one ein bodiment of Amy invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken online '2-2, Fig. 1;. 7 l Figure 3 ise sectional view taken on line 3 3, Fig. l and i f.

Figure 4 is n view in section or 'o portion of lthe combined handle andreservoir 5 stopper.

l,Referring now in detail to the drawings in which like numerals denotethe sume parts throughout 'the several views` A indicates a receptaclemade ot`- any suitable material having al plete 5 which is provided atone pend. thereof with va rectangular otlset portion 'nnd on angular-lydisposed'wall or projection 7 at its opposite end. Parallel to andspaced apart from the plate is ai second plate 8. .This plete 8 hasatits opposltely disposed longitudinal ends, portions ore-ars 9'overlapping land soldered to the plate 5 and isalso provided with anengularly disposed Wall 10 parallel to and spaced apart from the wall 7ofthe plate 5.

The plate 8 is fiirthcr provided with e depression forming o chamberor'rescrvoir 11 adapted to contain any cleaningtluid or liquid such asWater or the like. At the bottom of and et the center of the chamber 1lthere is rovided a threaded nozzle or stem 12 hevlnga flanged seat le4which soldered or otherwise secured to the outer vsurface of the'depression or reservoir 1 1.

like and`suitably secured between-the said plates bv screws '19 and nuts20. By refer- /ring to'lfigs. 2 :rnd 3 of the drawings,1 it will vbeseen that this nioistcner-is in direct com mnnicetionn'ith the reservoir11, vA rubfber squeeg'ee 2l isjsuitably secured between the angularwalls 7 andy 10 by means ofscrews 22 and nuts 23. It will also be seenby referring to Fig'. 2 that the squeegee 21extends inwardly and beyondthe edges 2e of the cursiv i) into the space 25 formed between the lates:iand 8' and thus prevents any of the iquid i' from leaking; out, 'etthis end. lt may here be. stated that the inoistener 18 will onl fabsorb sniticient'liq'uid to nfioisten the object being cleaned. A broomor mop handle or the like maybe inserted into the tube 15 if it isdesired' to clean anything out of the ordiniiry reach.

T o operate the device, the reservoir is first 4filled with Water or thelike and :the handl 15 is .secured in place. tilted as desired andsufficient liquid will trickle through the moistener to nioistcn thecleaned, which` surface ot' the article bein muy then be dried bypassing the Squeegee over it. i n 1 From the foregoingr it Willvbe seenthat I The device is then have provided an efficient and IeakprODfQv fcleaning device which will both-meisten and dry any article inthe natureof woodwork,

windows and the like, and one that is sub stantiollycand inexpensivelyconstructed.

In the drawings forming o 'part of, this specification. have shown apreferred form of my invention but I do not liniit myself toy the exactform shown and described. as many modifications land changes may be`made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

Having described claim ne nevi1 is:
